China Bans US Banker, Another Amid Criminal Probe

News summary

Chinese authorities have confirmed that Chenyue Mao, a senior Wells Fargo executive and U.S. citizen, is barred from leaving China due to her involvement in a criminal investigation, with no further details disclosed. Wells Fargo has suspended all employee travel to China and is working to secure Mao's return. The U.S. government has voiced concerns over exit bans, particularly the lack of transparent judicial processes and potential repercussions for U.S.-China relations. The incident has coincided with a separate exit ban on a U.S. Patent and Trademark Office employee, amplifying fears among multinational companies and diplomats about the safety and mobility of foreign nationals in China. Analysts suggest these actions may be part of broader 'hostage diplomacy' amid ongoing geopolitical tensions. The situation underscores increasing risks for foreign executives and organizations operating in China.
